How do I be more of a people person?

I have always been this way. I eventually learned it's not the number of friends it's the quality of the ones you have. Sarcasm is my way of coping with the awkwardness...it's worked for me. Most people enjoy my smart remarks, some don't get it. But it's made me be able to laugh at my own awkwardness. I am not telling you to start making smart remarks, just letting you know you aren't alone.

The hardest part is getting out of your comfort zone. Just start talking to people. It can be the smallest things, like complimenting others, people will probably like you a lot if you appeal to their pride. Also, think about people who might be in the same position as you around you. If there's anybody else you've noticed that seems socially awkward, you can help each other out.

i know its really hard to get up the courage to talk to someone, I'm struggling with the same thing. You just have to push yourself, tell yourself you can do it and don't think of the outcome. This person you could be talking to could end up being someone so important to you. You can't succeed unless you try.
